Earlier in the day, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said that the republic would find new partners if the United States imposed trade duties on Brazilian goods. The president added that Americans will have to pay for Trump's imposition of trade duties, which will face higher prices for coffee, beef, orange juice and other products, much of which are imported from Brazil.

On July 24, Lula da Silva announced his readiness for a dialogue with the United States on trade duties. At the same time, the Brazilian president noted that the American leader does not show any desire to start negotiations.
